do you have a moment, John?

They’re counting on us having our hands full in Congress and losing momentum on the campaign trail. I’m counting on your support to build the foundation to defend this seat and many more across the country in 2026.   John, I’m anticipating a busy year in Congress, working to p…

Hillary’s 2025 plans

Your support led us to yet another victory last year. We’re already working to build a strong foundation for 2026 because building a winning campaign takes a strong grassroots effort.   John, Hillary is laser-focused on delivering for West Michiganders. As she prepares for th…

He’s BACK, John

I have critically important work to do in Washington. And he’s counting on the fact that I’ll be so focused on my job, I’ll take my eyes off the 2026 midterms.   I just got a new opponent, John. MAGA Michael Markey, who ran last cycle, is counting on the red wave to propel …

We’re working so hard to fundraise now because once Trump is in office, I’ll need as much time as possible working to keep us and our communities safe.   John, Before we ring in the new year, I wanted to thank you again for an incredible victory here in Michigan’s 3rd Dist…

The more we raise now, the less time I have to spend fundraising and more time protecting our communities.   John, I’m a busy working mom. I’m sure many of you can relate to juggling parenting and the demands of work. So when the sign-ups for the school parties come around…

why are we fundraising?

Hillary may have won re-election, but we won by three points less than in 2022, and that’s enough to rile up national Republicans to take this seat. We already have our first Republican opponent, an early sign of how contested MI-03 will be again in 2026.   John, We’re approa…
